Solution

The correct option is C Water is continuously supplied to a crop.
Plants contain 90% water. They require water for fundamental processes like germination, transportation of mineral nutrition and to compensate for what is lost during transpiration. Water is required for nutrition in plants but should only be supplied at intervals and not continuously.
